Little bit of news. I know I've been excited since I got my glasses and so I'm writing again. Still am! :D I got chapters seven and eight up of Equestria Broken recently.
Little bit of news. I know I've been excited since I got my glasses and so I'm writing again. Still am! :D I got chapters seven and eight up of Equestria Broken recently.
Rough draft is done! Now on to editing :D turned out to be 24 pages at 10,909 words. Not as long as a lot of the other chapters but the length will extend a bit with editing. I was going to add the next part but I wanted that to be a whole seperate chapter so I'm ending it as is. I'm trying not to be insainly long with my chapters here, I know they're a long read and if I add the next part it would be twice as long.
Omg how much of a difference glasses makes! I wrote six pages last night and my eyes weren't straining to see my computer screen, it was so nice! Sorry, just had to rave for a second because I'm soooo happy I can see now! Just wanted to stop by and inform y'all of my progress: Chapter eight is currently at 12 pages and counting, so far at about 5,300+ words. Not done yet but yes, I am working on it! :)
So, I've been told I had cataracts since I was like nine years old. No one ever thought that maybe I need glasses. I'm thirty-four now and when I try to read my eyes are just super straining to focus. I can't read street signs like, at all with my left eye. I finally broke down a couple weeks ago and went to see an optometrist to be examined for the first time in maybe two decades. I have cataracts in both eyes (Duh...), astigmatisms in both eyes and I am nearsighted in my left eye. So my eyes
Woop! So rough draft is done on the next chapter!! ^_^ Turned out to be 28 pages long with 12,162 words. I actually wanted to add more but I think I'll save it for chapter 8. It'll fit better there anyway and I'm trying not to make the chapters insanely long like I have been lately. I think that's what's been the holdup, trying to keep that long-ass momentum going but being unmotivated to try and fill the void around what I had planned. I don't want to add unnecessary stuffing anymore. So, I'll
Yes, I know I suck. Hey, I just wrote like six pages worth on it today so hush. I told you not to expect much from me. It's at 25 pages / 10k+ words currently. Not done yet but it's over halfway.
So yeah, I suck and I know that. Having two jobs is just the worst. Not sure what I left my irl status on here as but I'm in my own place. Have been for about a year and a half now. Granted I live in a trailer park but at least I'm no longer a thirty-something year old living in her parent's house. The vast majority of my spare time involves sleeping and not much else. I really miss being crafty to be honest. I've been trying to do some stuff with like clay and I've doodled a little cause my
I totally meant to have it done before the end of the week but yesterday came and went and that was a failure. I feel like all I've been doing lately is working and sleeping. I just now finished all the edits though. The last thing I've been delaying on is the description of Twilight's second downstairs room. I don't want to have to go through all the episodes just to see it, I wish I could find a layout of it somewhere online but I've not been successful.
This new ergonomic keyboard and vertical mouse are weird but I'm getting used to them.
Typed out the chapter 6 rough draft and I'm sitting at 43 pages with 18,549 words. Now on to the first edit, the second edit and the TTS listen through then I can post it!
I am one hundred percent not at all surprised I got a whole lotta nothing done this entire week. For some reason I felt the need to be nostalgic and replay all three Jak and Daxter games. (Yes I know Jak X and Frontier exist but I'm terrible at racing games and Frontier is non-existant in my book after I tried it when it first came out and it played like some poorly written fan fiction where the writer's oc stole Kiera from Jak which from the first three stories wouldn't ever happen. Sure they
Well, it'll have been two weeks this Wednsday and what have I done? About four pages I've kinda sorta mostly been trying to beat Of Might and Magic 3 this entire time cause my uncle used to play it when I was a kid. I found it on Steam and I'm hooked. I hate it cause it's a super complicated chess game and I suck big time but I love it and I'm determined to beat it. I'm on the third campagin set and I'm wondering if all the greayed out sets below will unlock once I beat this
Seriously, I guess I got myself freaked out for nothing. I got like, two new views after adding it to even more groups. Huh, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But still, if y'all are going to comment or review or whatever, please be gentle I don't take criticism very well. It kinda makes me crash and burn internally and want to completely quit. Ugh, I know I'm terrible, I cringe at my own stories when I re-read them or have to edit them. I just, need to get them out of my head
Honest I had no idea groups were a thing. I never really explored Fimfiction more than an archive for my story. So, as a comment suggested, I joined a couple dozen groups but I only added my story to like, five of them to see how it would go... I'm pretty much super crazy nervous to see comments and criticizm. I know my story's trash and I'm worried I'll get all the negative reviews and it will crush what little drive to write I actually have I'm really hoping I'm going to just
So, you know when you have two characters and you plan for them to have a conversation. In this conversation you plan for it to go in a certain direction with specific things being brought up. Then you actually write out that conversation. The two character's personalities are finally taken into account and then their talk goes in the complete opposite direction with all your plans being thrown out the window and there's nothing you can do about it because that's just how the
Just a quick update, chapter 6 is currently at 3,500 words at 8 pages. I am working on it, kinda slow progress cause all I feel like I've been doing lately is working and sleeping. Having two jobs really sucks but at least the bills are paid. Just really hoping this chapter doesn't wind up turning out to be damned near fifty freaking pages @_@
That is all.
I am so sorry for the long-ass wait but I just now finished the rough draft for chapter 5. It's actually completed, 100%. It turned out to be longer than expected ending at 46 pages for 19,917 words. Usually my edits make it maybe a page or so longer but we'll see. Ugh, I still cannot believe I'm finally done with it. Well, on to editing now. Actually, that's a lie, it's past midnight and I have work in the morning so it's off to bed, then work tomorrow then I need to clean my place THEN it's
Chapter 5 rough draft status: ~95% done. (I'm on page 39 with over 17k words, longest chapter yet why ) It's probably got about three to five more pages to go I think, almost done.
Still need to do:
>Edits 1 and 2
Hello, been a while, eh? No, I'm not dead just a giant procrastinator. So many life things have happened. First, I finally moved out of my parent's house and I have my own place yay! So that's good. Still moving in honestly even though it's been a month already. I got into plush making and bought an embroidery machine so that's fun. I got a second cat and several more rats so I have a full house of critters 😁 Melody is still very interested in the rats but hopefully she'll learn from my 14 year
FFFFFFfffffffffffffffffffff
Ugh, I am such a slow writer, I hate it. I have done some on the next chapter buuuutttt... I'm stuck. Not really as I could continue but I dun wanna do this next part.
So, excuses time!
